Executive programs meeting the ECQs are ideal for:
- U.S. federal employees participating in an SES Candidate Development Program (SES-CDP)
- Current senior executives who desire to change jobs and need to readdress their ECQs or would like to demonstrate enhanced education in their annual performance assessment
- Transitioning military personnel applying for federal positions
- Corporate executives who work closely alongside and/or advise U.S. federal leaders
- International elected or career civil service executives who want to sharpen a broad range of leadership competencies and would at the same time enjoy gaining a deeper appreciation for strategies for success in large bureaucracies with the U.S. political and civil service systems
- Any person who, regardless of employment, will be applying for a Senior Executive Service position
While Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education identifies an alignment between our program’s curriculum and the ECQs, this does not connote a certification by OPM. Harvard Kennedy School is designated as part of the Executive Development Community on the OPM website.
